MARIANNE - this colorway is based on the romantic, spontaneous Marianne Dashwood in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. These bold reds, rosy tones and pops of gold and green reminded me of her carefree, impetuous nature.

Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.
